12 Days of Christmas
Would you consider donating £12 (or more) as part of our 12 Days of Christmas appeal to help those facing food crisis across Cardiff?
The need and use of foodbanks is growing. We are witnessing an increase in individuals and families turning to foodbanks to help them through tough times. We are meeting people from all walks of life and backgrounds who suddenly find themselves facing food crisis, people who live in our city, walk our streets, maybe even family members or friends. You may never know who has attended a foodbank, as they often come with a sense of embarrassment, shame or fear of what people might think or say. Many tell us that they never thought that they would need to use a foodbank and this is a constant reminder to us that, in the months to come, this could be any one of us.
The 12 stories/quote we will share during the 12 days of Christmas, whilst we have changed the names, are from local people – people just like us!
People have generously donated much needed food items and we are so thankful for every item. However, we also need financial support to help us operate and ensure that we can continue to distribute food to those who need it most.
So we are asking you, over this Christmas and New Year period, to consider giving a financial donation towards our work?
Would you consider collecting just £1 per day over the 12 Days of Christmas (25 December – 5th January) to support our work? Why not encourage your family, friends, work colleagues and those in your community, church or faith group to do the same.
Donating £12 (or more!) to Cardiff Foodbank will help us with much needed resources to support those facing food crisis over these coming winter months into 2019. Every donation will help!+
How to donate:
You can choose how to donate;
